Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Perris, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Perris is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
